Living and Laughing with Lou

Words to help you to keep looking up

An episode to share with you some of my favourite aspects of life & I think you will feel the loving & alive energy that is burning up in me right now

Leaving parts of my broken heart behind as I step forward in life & find the love in my friends who remind me that moving forward isn't easy but it's always worth it. Returning from my Vancouver trip has led me to reflect & revalue & allowed me to reset as I head into my 40th year. I feel my losses hard but I choose love every time! The story of grief & learning to live again

I travelled to Vancouver to thank one of my best friends who I had never met before. Someone who shone a light my way when my heart was falling apart. A friend who helped me write Grannys book when I felt I couldn't do it. A friend who stepped towards me when all I wanted to do was step back. This episode is about the power of friendship & why people like Lauren are so important in the world! ✨

It's all in how you look at it

I talk about how even the moon has days when all attentions are not given to her & she still looks amazing! This is a podcast of support, hope, love, light and encouragement to remind you that even on the days you feel like you are falling apart, you are loved

Some words to help you slow down in September ☀️

If you're feeling lost or lonely or just unsure, this episode is to remind you to keep looking up

You are not on your own when you fall down, when you feel weak or when you wobble in this life. This is your five minute reminder that everything will be ok x

Three minutes to help you rest your mind & help you fall into a deep sleep x

This episode is for anyone who is struggling with bad energy at their table or in their life. I speak about how we all fall for people who are not good for us & how & why we need to step away from these people. I hope this helps if you are struggling with a situation of family or friends not being good for you at this moment. Be brave & move! You deserve the best!

This podcast is focused on the struggle we humans have when it comes to being ourselves. Often we feel pressured by society, by others & even by ourselves to be somebody else while if we just lean into our own light, our authentic selves is where we are happiest. I was inspired to put this piece together after listening to Adele's Song ‘I drink wine' ….Definitely worth having a listen to this song before or after you listen to this podcast…you will feel what I feel….Also I write twice weekly on livingandlaughingwithlou.substack.com. I'd love if you might like to come & find me there

This episode is especially dedicated to all who grieve at this time. When you lose someone forever it is a very hard process to deal with. I wrote this piece on a day my heart was really hurting & it's my attempt to put words on how grief feels. I'm so so sorry for your loss & I promise one day you will eventually feel less broken & you will start to heal. Until then, go easy on yourself & I hope this episode reminds you that you are not on your own. Feel free to connect with the Facebook family at anytime: www.Facebook.com/livingandlaughingwithlou

As myself and my 8 year old niece Lauren enter grans house to have a chat with Tom the cat, Lauren's pondering thoughts & pure love for her great grandmother & her home are evident in this recording. Hope you enjoy the magic that sprung from little Lauren as much as I did listening back to it & I've got a feeling it might bring a little smile to your face

Myself and seven year old lauren who is my niece & also the great granddaughter of Granny Nancy chats about her thoughts on Heaven & how that all works. She also speaks about how Granny Nancy is a saint & how the magic of her new powers work! Granny & Lauren were 100 years apart in age but held a very close friendship as you will hear in this podcast. If you are feeling lonely for someone gone ahead of you today, I promise you Lauren's words will help you look up & feel ok about it all. She believes. I believe. And so did granny Nancy & her gift of belief is all wrapped up in this episode. Hope you enjoy x

The pandemic has been tough on us all but I think we have also gained great insight into what is really important to us. For me, I've realised that I don't need much & even when kept within 5km of my home, I can find peace, happiness & tranquility right on my doorstep. This episode is a moment in time whereby I realised being close to home has a lot of benefits that I might not have noticed before Covid19 arrived. With all grey clouds, there can often be many silver linings & in this piece I realise I've discovered quite a few. Hope you enjoy

I recorded this episode after going through a number of weeks without sleep as gran has been very sick. For anyone who cares for another and might be experiencing lack of sleep as part of that caring, I think these words will resonate with you and hopefully will keep you looking up and keep you shining like the bright light that you are

A little note to self to remind us all that we are doing our best & our best is always enough....a few little words to keep you going in these tough times and to help you keep looking up
